Improving Our Reading Skills and Building Our Confidence

Help me give my students materials that will help them grow academically during their reading intervention period.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruiz's classroom raised $275

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are fortunate to be implementing a new intervention period at our school this year. Students from intermediate and middle school grades will be working on their reading skills during a daily intervention session.

These effective reading intervention materials will be used with students during their intervention session to continue to build upon their strengths while also helping them in areas in which they are struggling.

So many of our students who are struggling in reading just need that extra level of support. This support helps them gain confidence and helps them feel and be successful.
